In that case, I should probably change my sig to “[something that hasn’t been updated in at least a few years and contains an embarassing number of dead links](http://hometown.aol.com/eutychus55).” ---

Completely Flash? Eek, don’t bother. Some of us on 56k dial-ups don’t appreciate non-standard browser controls and age-long loading times. ('course, it’ll piss all over mine in terms of looks, but still…) ---

Geting ready to drop a boatload of money into a new one. what’s ironic is that YOUR site was taking forever to load last night (I figure traffic between Atlanta and the UK), so I gave up and never actually saw it. this morning it loaded right up, however, and I’d like to say that you have a very nice, cean layout. Flash movies (sites) are relatively lightweight if you don’t get too fancy with the animations. and even when they’re big, you can provide a bit of eye candy for the user to watch while they’re loading. ---

Flash certainly looks nice, but I think I’m scarred by all the corporate websites that use nothing but (thanks Open Interactive, Telewest and others). Or maybe I’m just jealous since I never learned to use it! ---
